In December 2012, WPUT and WINE became affiliates of CBS Sports Radio.[2]

On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would acquire 53 Cumulus Media stations, including WPUT, for $238 million. The deal was part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global are both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management.[3][4] The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.[5]

WPUT signed off the air on November 5, 2014, at 3:42 PM. [citation needed] Townsquare Media would return WPUT's license to the FCC on May 18, 2015.[6] The WPUT tower was eventually taken down and Townsquare then sold the Prospect Hill Rd property to a tree service company. An FM station in nearby North Salem would take on the WPUT call sign the following month; the two stations are not connected.
